It's the framework of this story
Would the story have worked as well without fly fishing?

Exactly. Plus, friends always have a thing in common which is why they usually come together. So whichever hobby or thing they get into, the story will still be as good as it is.Kibetious wrote: ↑22 Apr 2018, 08:23Nice point there. Taking their stories out and placing them in a different setting would for sure not change their story as long as they share a common interest or were capable of adapting to this setting.Vivianne Nat wrote: ↑09 Apr 2018, 06:32 I believe it would have worked differently though the thought of the fly fishing didn't really matter much. As what you guys said in previous posts, take the story of the characters out the book and land them on different place and their own stories would actually still be the same. It revolved around the idea of friendship hence i believed, it would still live on without the fly fishing thingy.

I agree with you on this. The art of fly fishing teaches the characters a lot. Any other activity will have different strongpoints and might shape the storyline differently.Jeyasivananth wrote: ↑12 Feb 2018, 14:33 I personally feel the fly fishing sport has worked wonderfully for the story line. I cannot imagine the story without .It is not merely a passion that links all the characters but it also teaches them the skills to sustain and grow amidst the vicissitudes of life.Like the art of fly fishing the art of living too demands one to learn and unlearn , be aware and adapt, practice and persevere and above all to make connection and release. One can maybe substitute this metaphor with something else ..perhaps music or any other . But i feel its too perfect as it is to suggest a substitution.
